A team with the Logan FFA chapter recently won a state championship in a parliamentary procedure contest and will advance to the national competition this fall.

Members of the team are Peyton Merrill, Mitchell Wall, Braeden Lightfoot, Kyleigh Phillips, Mylee Stone, April Lansdell and Javida Roberts.
"This FFA contest, Greenhand Chapter conducting, requires immense preparation," Lightfoot stated in a news release. "These students not only learned about correct parliamentary procedure, but also broadened their communication and public speaking skills through debating and justifying actions taken in the meeting."
